| Crewed Yachts | If you want the exhilaration of being on the water, privacy of your own boat, but a bit of luxury and pampering, then we highly recommend a crewed charter! Crewed Charters are yachts where the crew is dedicated to the specific yacht. They take care of everything and are typically experts in the region where you will be chartering. |
|
| Bareboats | A "Bareboat" is a charter where you take full responsibility for all aspects of the boat and journey: navigation, sailing, mooring, motoring, cooking, cleaning etc. Bareboats offer tremendous freedom, self-dependence, and accomplishment. You will normally need certification and relevant sail or motorboat experince when chartering bareboat. | |
| Bareboat with Skipper | If you're looking for a relaxed holiday with all the amenities, know exactly where you want to get to and have a precise itinerary, then a Crewed Yacht is right for you. | |
| Super Yachts | Super Yachts offer the holiday of a lifetime, with a 5 Star hotel approach. The cabins are plush, you have a choice of entertainment and water toys, and often hot tubs, internet access and exercise rooms. Their expert crew will attend to all of your needs. | |
| Event Charters | If you're planning an event, it will be better on a yacht! We have a broad range of yachts specially selected for fabulous events, whether for a team building day, conference, company celebration, wedding, stag or hen party, or any meeting where you just want to do something different. | |
| Crewed Day Charters | You already have a place to stay in a resort, but want to get out on the water and have a great, memorable day. You should look into a day charter! |
